I have now 'fixed' wpa_supplicant's wext-driver to support the airport card. Part my fix it is a bona fide bug fix, since the WEP key setting method was broken or at least sufficiantly different from iwlib's 'reference implementation' that it didn't work. I will try to make that one into a patch. The other part is a hackish attempt at stopping the wpa_supplicant driver from issuing ioctls related to WPA when the kernel driver doesn't support them. That needs some work. In any case, my card now works when I use wpa_supplicant on its own with a configuration file. In combination with nm, it still doesn't work, but debugging is a little difficult since I seem to be missing part of wpa_supplicant's output in nm's log. -- Matijs van Zuijlen http://www.matijs.net/
